The article defines the meaning of integrated national legal frameworks of European Union member states analysing doctrinal principles of supremacy and direct force of European Union law. It proves that ensuring total supremacy of law European Union guarantees its precedence so that national laws and regulations do not contradict or defeat standards of European Union law. The article considers the concept of direct force of law implying that both courts and governmental authorities and citizens of the member states are obliged to follow laws and regulations adopted by European Union authorities without ratifying them additionally in national legal frameworks or recognizing them otherwise by the member states.
